I have stop writing about it, but plan to do it in the near future. Don;t really want to get away from Forex but yes, it's definitely tough. <br />I think options selling can be more consistent.<br />Glad to have you over here.<br />I went to your blogs by the way. Nice work man.<br /><br />Regards,<br />LTThe Lazy Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598866019359750526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375291312433129989.post-38608205569395685872014-04-13T09:31:57.035-04:002014-04-13T09:31:57.035-04:00"If you are an Options seller and you haven&#..."If you are an Options seller and you haven't sold Puts already, you are a Communist, and you deserve to live in Cuba with a typical Cuban salary." you made me lough today sir, Keep blogging you are an inspiration for me, after years of trading forex while having a full time job the Iron strategies and selling spread looks more convinience to me and I'm learning with you.

I've been thinking about that for a while. There's too much garbage here. Certainly the advertisements create more clutter, it would look cleaner without them.<br /><br />The redesign will be mandatory as this blog is hosted by blogger, and I have a limit of 500 articles. A limit I thought I would never hit, but, reality is different and I'm getting close to 400 already. The main problem Jonathan, as usual, my lack of time. Man, I would really love to just blog and trade full time someday.<br /><br />Definitely the best part of blogging is knowing so many people and learning so much from others. And this feeling of camaraderie that is spontaneously created among traders.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments pal.<br />LTThe Lazy Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598866019359750526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375291312433129989.post-14792943749822354412014-04-12T10:33:56.451-04:002014-04-12T10:33:56.451-04:00You said, "We're very close to an oversol...You said, "We're very close to an oversold extreme in the short term and due for a rebound any time now. Adding to that the fact that the VIX is above 17, it is a good time in my opinion for selling Credit Put spreads."<br /><br />Agreed 100%. Yesterday would have been a perfect day to sell credit spreads on RUT/IWM if you haven't done it already. I also see an oppty in NDX/QQQ since it is 5% below its 10-day high. I am saving my bullets in case this market decides to fall more next week which I am not anticipating. I would like to keep at least 50% in cash.<br /><br />You said, "If you are an Options seller and you haven't sold Puts already, you are a Communist, and you deserve to live in Cuba with a typical Cuban salary." <br /><br />This is the funniest line I have read all week. Too bad I can retweet it. I take it you don't like the Communist regime in Cuba.<br /><br />You said, "RUT 1055/1060/1280/1290 Iron Condor 6 days to expiration."<br /><br />How much did it cost you to make this adjustment? You never mentioned it in your blog. <br /><br />You said, "This blog is now consistently getting 1000 page views per day, or 30 000 per month. The good part of that is, it increases my advertisement revenue, which keeps me motivated to keep blogging."<br /><br />Congrats Henrik. This is quite an achievement. You started with a humble blog and now it is turning into a little cash cow for you. While the money you make from blogging does not equate to the amount of time spent on the website, I believe you get to learn and interact with some nice and smart people who visit your blog. Keep up the great work. <br /><br />May I suggest you change your logo and redesign your website? I think it is time for an upgrade this year. <br /><br />Good luck and good trading.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635010979050643513noreply@blogger.com
